A vehicle dynamics control system for a motor vehicle having an active normal force adjustment system with which the normal force acting on a wheel may be adjusted is described. For coordinating the vehicle dynamics control system with the active normal force adjustment system, information about a change in the normal force is to be supplied to a control unit of the vehicle dynamics control system and may be taken into account in the vehicle dynamic control.

Method for coordinating a vehicle dynamics control system with an active normal force adjustment system

A vehicle stabilizing system, for motor vehicles in particular, includes a control unit in which a stabilization control algorithm is stored, a sensor system for detecting present actual values of vehicle state variables, and at least one actuator for implementing a stabilizing intervention when an unstable situation is detected. In order to be able to adapt the vehicle stabilizing system to different types of surfaces, a device is provided which supplies the control unit with information concerning the nature of the surface and at least one controller variable of the stabilization control algorithm is changed as a function of the supplied surface information.
